Manhattan Strip Clubs: Lawsuit Alleges Sexual Harassment at Strip Club!

Lawsuit Alleges Sexual Harassment at Strip Club!

Garcia also claims that early last year general manager Kelly Gerald-Hughes began to “repeatedly touch (her) in a sexual manner on her legs and thighs” early last year. It’s being alleged that Gerald-Hughes did more “performing” in the VIP rooms than managing, and offered to make out with Garcia “in front of the customers for a fee.” Gerald-Hughes also allegedly made remarks about the size of Garcia’s breasts in front of customers and stroked her leg in a VIP room. Who knew this kind of stuff went on at strip clubs?
Garcia says she was “humiliated and degraded,” and when she complained “on more than one occasion” to club owner Robert Gans, Gerald-Hughes allegedly told her she had “significant influence” over Penthouse Club CEO Mark Yackow. She was fired two weeks before Christmas after being accused of “stealing a few bucks” and tells the Daily News, “They couldn’t look me in the eye. I was loyal to them, and this is how they treat me.” The club hasn’t commented yet, but we’ll keep you posted on this and all other strip club lawsuits as they develop.
